Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Intensification of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors is undermining efforts to sustain control strategies. The evolutionary features underlying such exacerbation in major vector such as Anopheles funestus are only partially understood.

Gene copy number and function of the APL1 immune factor changed during Anopheles evolution
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background The recent reference genome assembly and annotation of the Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi detected only one gene encoding the leucine-rich repeat immune factor APL1, while in the Anopheles gambiae and sibling Anopheles coluzzii, APL1

Highly Efficient Site-Specific Mutagenesis in Malaria Mosquitoes Using CRISPR. [PDF]
, 2018 Anopheles mosquitoes transmit at least 200 million annual malaria infections worldwide. Despite considerable genomic resources, mechanistic understanding of biological processes in Anopheles has been hampered by a lack of tools for reverse genetics. Here,

Species Occurrence and Seasonal Variation of Malaria Vectors in Hadiya Zone, Ethiopia
BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Environmental change can alter the species occurrence and seasonal distribution of malaria vectors to higher altitudes and latitudes. Highlands remain dynamic due to factors that favor their growth and development. Invasive species have proliferated into new ecological niches, increased.

Does insecticide resistance contribute to heterogeneities in malaria transmission in The Gambia? [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Malaria hotspots, areas with consistently higher than average transmission, may become increasingly common as malaria declines. This phenomenon, currently observed in The Gambia, may be caused by several factors, including some related to the

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Synthetic insecticides face challenges, such as resistance, environmental damage, and harm to nontarget species, highlighting the need for alternative methods. Medicinal plants, along with their bioactive compounds, offer a promising solution. Objective This study investigated the efficacy of methanol extracts derived from traditionally used

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) are a serious threat to public health, globally. Different genera of mosquitoes, acting as disease vectors, transmit diseases such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, chikungunya, Zika fever, and others. Malaria in humans is caused by Plasmodium species transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes.

Abundance of conserved CRISPR-Cas9 target sites within the highly polymorphic genomes of Anopheles and Aedes mosquitoes. [PDF]
, 2020 A number of recent papers report that standing genetic variation in natural populations includes ubiquitous polymorphisms within target sites for Cas9-based gene drive (CGD) and that these "drive resistant alleles" (DRA) preclude the successful ...
